Verdict
To Fly Free has not been improving but wears first-time cheekpieces and David Pipe has a decent strike-rate here. Talking About You is even more exposed and, like Topkapi Star, shoulders a penalty. Treaty Of Dingle has placed at Fontwell and Plumpton but a trio of newcomers make more appeal. Isayalittleprayer placed twice up to 1m6f on the level so stamina won’t be an issue but Glass Of Bubbles only won a seller at Leicester earlier this month. VOLKOVKA has been showing decent form in the French Provinces and has joined a yard that continues to fire in the winners. She’ll know what’s required so gets the nod.
